Discover Practical Strategies To Support Trauma Recovery

The role of nutrition in mental health, especially in PTSD, is rarely addressed in treatment or lifestyle recommendations, yet it may be one of the most important missing links in recovery.

Join Dr. Leslie Korn as she explores how dietary, nutritional, and herbal strategies can support healing from PTSD. Learn practical tools to improve sleep, digestion, mood, and chronic pain while understanding how nutrition supports overall mental wellness. Participants will also receive a recipe booklet to help bring these strategies into their daily lives.
